THE SUN. sOLZM Qt. 1.11 DICER.I PAL6Uh4 AUDZAT? LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 29, 1808. SOM E more,r.etters and Papers' from Holland ; of the date of the 3d instant, have reached tOivn.— They all concur in stating, that. the war between Austria and France is inevitable. BUONAPARTE is cs.lg every possible exertion to collet E'uch a force ,as may enable hlrn to overwhelm Austria. -AU the unfortunate Princes who have been forced into the Confederation of the Rhine have been called upon • to furnish their contingents, in order to rivet their own chains, and , perpetuate their ,own slavery. It is said that the- contingents to be furnished by the Princes of the Confederation will amount to no less, than i 20,0013 men. They. will not, we are con vinced, bring any thing like such a force into the field but what is of more importance, BUoNAPARTE cannot place any reliance upon them, or in' any way consider them as effeEtive troops. If be should succeed against Austria, it will be by French, and not German armies. The letters 'from Holland mention that accounts bad been received of JOSEPH BUONAPARTE'S arrival at Bayonne. They also state, that the Asturian army, under General DE PONTE', had formed a junc tion with the Biscayans, and had advanced to Bilboa. If this be true, nothing could be more prudent than JOSEPH'S retreat to Bayonne, because a little delay might have led to a very unpleasant prolongation of his residence in Spain, not as.a Sovereign, but as a prisoner. We had the pleasure of communicating, On-Satur day, the substance of a Telegraphic Dispatch which had been received at the Admiralty, importing that the Biscayans had joined their countrymen in the glo rious attempt to drive the infamous French Invaders from the soil of SPain.The chief peopleof t hat Province had formed thernSelves into a Junta, and had issued a Manifesto, expressive of their entire concurrence in the noble determination to support the independence of their country. it consisted of a spirited appeal to their loyalty and their patriOtism, and exhorted them to reverence and imitate the glorious example of their pr , .lecessors, who had undismayed resisted the attempts of various -Nations to reduce them to slavery. The only thing wanted by the Biscayans . were arms and ammunition, but fortunately the liberality of the British GovernMent had sent am ple supplies', and our aEtive Officers .would of coarse lose no time in sending them every thing capable of giving effe& to their zealous, loyalty and independent spirit. We expe6,l eVeiritaornent to receive more particulars ,orr this interesting min k.% and shall immediately communicate them to tie public.
